redsquirrel Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I do LOOOOOVE me a skort! I wear them all summer. Thanks for these. I've been buying them from Lands End in the uniform section but my colour choice is really limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I've been wearing skorts for the last few years. Denim is my favorite, but I also have cream, navy, and purple. Easy to wear, flattering to my body style and legs ;) (Much more flattering to me than shorts) and sporty. I can put a tee shirt on and head to Walmart or a nicer shirt to head anywhere else. Cute and comfortable sandals are a must! Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artichoke Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Cute! Cute! I love to wear skirts/skorts in the summer with T's. It's so much cooler in the humidity than shorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuzi Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Boy, skorts sure have changed since I first saw them back in the 90's! My very first skort was literally a pair of shorts with a panel of fabric across the front, sewn on across the top and one side, to make it look like a wrap skirt from the front, but still shorts from the back. The mullet of women's fashion. :lol: These ones are actually cute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 you must all have lovely legs, as these are far too short for me ;-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Yes, the shorts are more like a shorts liner. I remember the skort mullets of the 90s LOL Boy, skorts sure have changed since I first saw them back in the 90's! My very first skort was literally a pair of shorts with a panel of fabric across the front, sewn on across the top and one side, to make it look like a wrap skirt from the front, but still shorts from the back.

Mandylubug Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I agree, I thought skorts looked like shorts from the back... funny enough IF I wear a skirt anywear, I put on a pair of compression shorts to keep my thighs from rubbing.... so all this time I could have been buying a cute skort and no one would have been the wiser that there were shorts under there?! I feel dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldberry Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Oh, they have tall sizes! Normally this would be WAY too short on my very long legs....(36" inseam). I may give these a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Oh, phew. I was scared it was going to be a romper :lol: From the review: I quit wearing shorts after finding this skort several years ago. They are as casual as shorts but, look a lot more feminine and "put together" So, I guess it passes the anti-frumpy test. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renthead Mommy Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I like how under Features it lists Easy Care, Easy Wear. Can be washed in sink or STREAM! LOL! My husband already thinks I'm a crazy for dragging clothes outside to put on the line. I should show him this and tell him one of the selling points is I can beat it on a rock instead of running the washing machine! LOL!

I can actually see wearing those, though I might feel a bit like a preschooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can actually see wearing those, though I might feel a bit like a preschooler. It just fees like you are wearing a pair of shorts. And I don't worry about how I have to stand up if I end up sitting on the grass or whatever. I like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Yup. I have something similar that bought at Sears last summer. I've got a muffin top, but have great legs for a middle-aged lady, so I wear mine with a looser shirt when it is really hot. Better than shorts!

It happens. Frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 How come no one has ever introduced me to Eddie Bauer clothes?!!!! They have long inseams and they'll ship to Canada! It's incredibly hard to find pants with a 36" inseam up here without spending $90 or more. I think I might need to get out more. Btw, that skort is super cute. I could never wear it though. My legs and knees are way too scarred to show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TammyinTN Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I so need one of those in every color. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldberry Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 It is so cute but I do wish it was slightly longer. One of the reviews said the tall size was 19 inches. The shortest I own right now (only for casual wear) is 20 inches. I'm debating...I don't like to wear skirts in the summer because of sweating - ugh! The shorts would stop that...

Word Nerd Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Is the fit pretty true to size? (Sometimes vanity sizing is an issue and I have to order a smaller size.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Nice. I have shorts from there with that fabric. I love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I must hide my horrible varicose veins so these http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1660735/joe-b-cinched-waist-maxi-skirt-juniors.jsp are my uniform.

Snickerdoodle Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Is the fit pretty true to size? I think more or less, yes. I so need one of those in every color. Just sayin... :D I must hide my horrible varicose veins so these http://www.kohls.com...irt-juniors.jsp are my uniform. I love this style but for whatever reason, I cannot pull it off.

bobbeym Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I love them! I need to find some that are closer to knee length and in a fabric appropriate for a business casual dress code. Might be time to find a pattern and dig my never-used sewing machine out of the closet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyinLA Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 How do the sizes of these compare to other brands? I have no idea what size I would wear, but I want one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 OK, in NYDJ I wear a 6P. In LLBean, the 4reg skirt was waaaay too big in the waist and hips. I won't order from LLBean again. EB dress, the small petite fit me perfectly, but I liked the bit looser fit of the medium petite. This EB skirt I posted in the OP was too loose at 6P and I liked the 4P fit better. Does that help? If it helps, the mail exchange was hassle free both times I did it. I hate shopping, so this worked out perfectly for me. I think they should pay me for this endorsement, LOL.

Carolinagirl1 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Thanks for posting!! I headed over to EB and bought a couple yesterday. I wore one to take the kids on an outing this morning! Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
